ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 1.-THE Re
publican this morning says: a railway
official, whose connection with the New
York and Boston ends of certain trans
Mississippi roads gives him most excellent
opportunities to know what is going on
behind the curtain, said last night that
no one need be surprised il when the
smoke of the Baltimore and Ohio deal
cleared away the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe were found to be the owners.
IL was asserted by the gentleman that
negotiations had been pending between
the Atchison and the Baltimore officials
for more than six months, and that the
hitch in the deal last week was wholly
due to the Gould party, who wanted to
defeat it because the Missouri Pacific did
not like the lea of its most powerful aud
energetic rival controlling continuous
line of road from ocean to ocean. The
premature publication of the scheme will
not defeat the original purpose, however

conversation and IN reply to questions
said that an average of forty men were
new employed and the works were run
night and day, many of the men making
extra time. The payroll was at present
$4,000 per month. A considerable
amount of railroad car work
was being done such as draw
heads, break shoes, CRATE bars
etc. "Only to-day" said Mr.. Moore,
Hwe received an order from Granbury for
sixteen iron fronts, which is months
work alone, and we could tomorrow put
seventy-five men st work II We had the
room. If we succeed in forming the car
and foundry company we will at once put
in a plant for manufacturing car
wheels, several OF the railroads hav-
ing already solicited US to do so. With
the car wheels m de here, the matter of
building the rest of the cars is an easy
matter. We have secured an option on
the land we need for our new works and
have already selected the machinery we
need, if we form the company, and can
have it on the way at once. We are now
so cramped for room and have so much
work ahead, that it has been i'm
possible to pay any attenti
to the training OF apprentices, but
if the additional capital needed is
secured we will give a number Of our
Fort Worth boys chance to learn a use
full trade. l hope the efforts being made
to secure the needed capital and the
formation of the car and foundry COM
pRny will succeed Later Mr.. Lynch
was seen and he gave the cheering in
formation that he had been sent for by
two persons who desired to take stock
and had subscribed $4,000 to the enter
prise. But $4,000 more is needed, and the
work of putting up the buildings will be
gin, the force will be increased and
the machinery will be ordered. When
the works are ready employment will
be given to I25 to $50 men.
The Fort Worth and Denver, the Fort
Worth and Rio Grande and the Gull, Colo
RADIO and Santa Fe are now having
work done st this institution. Fort Worth
says she wants factories for her retail
trade and $4,000 more in stock is needed
to make a successful venture a greater
success. and if this is secured by tonight
the city will have Cause to rejoice.

with Receiver Dillingham; and Major

Ii was talked in railroad circles last
night that the Texas and Pacific had de-
termined to run two fast trains from New
Orleans over Its lines, one
to Fort Worth and the other
via Fort Worth to Ell Paso, reducing
the time to Fort Worth several hours and
from Fort Worth to Ell PasO six hours.

ordered them to tear up their track on the

other way or begin TO run their trains from
a point in the country. The gentleman
commended tAe facility with which Fort

was afraid the line of the Fort

forth in The GAZETTE went too far
south, the impression being left that
he meant the road would not build
beyond WoodVille to the southeast
and might not go as far south
as Mexia before crossing the Central,
but might cross above. However,
Mr.. Dillingham; did not IN any way
commit himself as to the route.

The Commission Question.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 1.-THE general
passenger agents of the various roads IN
the New Western States Passenger Asso-
citation have finished the work OF formu-
lsting rules and regulations for conduct
ing the passenger traffic Of western roads
in conformity with the new interstate
commerce law and will report to the gen
ersl managers at a meeting to be held at
Chairman Abbott's Office next Wednesday.
A circular letter was issued to the west
ern roads By the assistant commissioner
of trunk lines and the assistant commits
sioner of the Central Traffic
Association regarding the interchange of
passenger traffic between eastern and
western lines, and the abolishing OF the
commission system by the eastern roads
was considered, and IL was decided that
the roads in the Western Association
should answer that letter individu-
ally, but through the chairman Of the
Western States Passenger Association
of the western roads, fully agree with
the eastern lines so far as the present
mode OF issuing through tickets
is concerned, they radically differ as to
paying commissions. While the western
lines take the ground that they may con-
tinue to pay commission under the new
law, and mean to do so, until the
national commission decides it contrary
to law, the eastern roads claim commits
sions cannot be paid under the law and
they have agreed to pay no more COM
missions, not only to their agents and
agents of foreign roads, but
also that their agents shall not be per-
mltted to receive commissions or any
other kind of remuneration from foreign
roads for the sale of tickets. On account
Of this difference OF opinion the western
roads prefer to wait until the national
commission has decided the question
whether commissions can be lawfully
paid before answering the letter of the
eastern lines.

Missouri Pacific Earnings.

NEW YORK, March 1.-THE board OF
directors of the Missouri Pacific Railroad

week and organized by electing Jay Gould

port for the year 1886, which touches upon
the labor troubles which began March
and lasted until March %, says the de-
crease in earnings of su the lines for the
month of March was 1902, 1876,
and IL expenses 1914 096.
Besides the difference between
these items there was further loss by
reason of the depression in business, re-
sulting in the decrease of traffic during
the succeeding month, the amount OF
which it is impossible to estimate. It is,
therefore, deemed matter of great sat
isfaCtion that the gross earnings for the
entire year exceed those of the previous
year by $l,23S,157, and notwith-
standing the repairs of equipment
and roadway the operating expenses
increased only three-fourths of l per cent.
The work of restoring the physical con-
dition CT the property was fully accom-
plished, and the lines at the close Of the

BY RAIL TO TYBEE.
One Thousand People Make the Trip
by the New Line.

by the New Line.
The first Sundays operations on the Sa-
vannah and Tybee railroad were as success
full as the management could desire. Every
train was run, and every one except the 9
o'clock was crowded. One thousand peo-
pie were transported to the
island and back over the line
which so many doubling Thomases have
said could never be built. There was a
rumor downtown yesterday that there had
been a strike on the road and the afternoon
trains had not been run. This proved to be
a most grievous error. The O'Clock train
was forty-fve minutes late in starting be
cause the four coaches that were made
up would not nearly hold the
people that wanted to crowd into Them and
nearly an hour had to be spent in securing
coaches from the Savannah, Florida and
Western, but two were borrowed finally and
switched over to the Tybee track. When
the engineer opened his throttle the train
refused to move. That is supposed
to be what gave rise to the rumor
of the strike, but there was no truth in
it. Some one had set the hind brakes on
all the coaches, and they had to be taken off
before the engine could start, but that done,
she moved off at lively rate
A very serious difficulty has been en-
countered near Lazaretto creek. A con
struction train was standing on the
track about 200 feet this side of the
bridge last Saturday night, and
all of a sudden the locomotive
sank about two feet. The track went down,
not out of sight, but below the grade, and
through trains can not be run until the de-
preston has been raised The trouble is
that it was necessary to put in cribbing at
that point while construction was going on,
and when the cribbng was removed the
embankment was improperly filled in.
The accident caught a train on each end of
the line, and the only inconvenience thet
elers suffer is a transfer, at the point where
the depression is, but the fact that 1000
people Travelled over the line both ways yes
terday is evidence that they do not mind
the transfer

SCARCITY OF TONNAGE.
The Naval Stores Trade Unable to Get
All the Vessels Needed.

AL bllO NcSSSlS NtSQSu.
There is a very great scarcity at present
of sailing tonnage at this port, though the
demand for vessels at this time is very fair.
There are several large orders here for naval
stores to go to foreign ports, and
exporters find difficulty in carrying
out their contracts because there are no YES
sells available Shippers are even offering
higher rates for cargoes than those current,
but seemingly, this does not induce vessels
TO come here. There are also several car
goes of naval stores offering for coastwise
sailing vessels, but, like the foreign vessels,
they are very scarce, and those Offering do
not wish TO take such cargoes, but want
lumber instead. There is at present but one
schooner in port loading
One reason given is that the quarantine
is too lengthy. Another reason given is
that 1t is necessary TO send crews ashore TO
sleep. These reasons seem to be rather sin
gular in view of the fact that vessels readily
go to Charleston and Brunswick Both
these ports are amply supplied with ton
mage for present requirements, and the quar-
antine regulations there are about the same
as they are here The want is not so much
of coastwise sailing vessels MS il is for the
foreign vessels, Us there is not great deal
of demand for Coastwise vessels in the
lumber trade at the present time.
This question of scarcity of tonnage at
this season Of the year is not new one, but
the scarcity is growing more noticeable
every year and is rather a detriment TO the
naval stores trade. 1t is limited that if
the port charges were not so high
foreign vessels might favor this port more
